Abstract: 22,535. Bond, E. S., and Lee, C. Sept. 29. [Cognate Application, 29,020/10.] Locking - apparatus; supports.-In means for preventing unauthorized riding of motor and other cycles, of the kind wherein a locking-bolt 4 adapted to engage with the crank axle or other part of the driving- mechanism is carried by an internal movable sleeve which co-operates with rotatable locking- collars 8 for retaining the bolt in operative position, the bolt is pushed down into this position by means of a collar 8<a> completely encircling the frame tube or the casing enclosing the sleeve. As shown in Fig. 1, a collar 2 upon the crank axle 1 is furnished with a number of grooves or recesses 3, so that, for supporting the machine, a crank may be locked in a position suitable to the height of the kerb. The connexion between the collar 8<a> and the sleeve may be effected by a screw engaging a bayonetslot in the frame tube, and the device may be arranged in either the tube 9 or 16. For locking the driving-wheel, a casing enclosing the sleeve is supported from the wheel axle and a back-fork member, and a disk with two or more projections between which the locking-bolt may engage may be secured to the hub. To allow for the adjustment of the chain, the upper extremity of the casing may be connected to the machine by means permitting of up or down movement, as by using a rotatable eccentric. In applying the device to existing machines. a slotted rectangular member 28, Fig. 5, is clamped to the spokes by means of plates 30, a screw or the like 32 retaining the member laterally in the position permitted by the space between the stays and the hub flange. To provide for vertical and lateral adjustment, the bottom end of the casing is connected to an arm upon the axle by means of an horizontal and a vertical screw. The letters, figures, or the like upon the rotatable collars may be stamped upon straight strips of sheet metal, which are applied to, and soldered in position on, the collars. According to the Provisional Specification, the locking-bolt is pressed into operative position by a tappet connexion with the sleeve.

Title: Improvements in, and Apparatus for, the Electrical Purification of Gases.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: B03C3/41

Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 30,194. Johnson, J. V., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 29. Gases &c., treating electrically.-Inapparatus for separating electrically from gases solid or liquid impurities such as smoke, fog, and dust, the electrode from which the discharge emanates is in the form of a plate or disk so arranged with respect to a collecting-electrode that the field is practically the same at all points of the edge of the plate or disk. This construction allows the use of metal or carbon for the electrode, and these materials have the great advantages that they can be used at above a red heat, and are also not affected by the deposition of moisture. The edges only of the electrode need be made of metal or carbon. More than .one plate may be used, or the electrode A may be shaped as a screw as shown in Fig. 3, and it is in some cases advantageous to make the electrodes of ring form as shown at A', Fig. 1, with the inner and outer edges sharp, and to place collecting-electrodes B<1> B<2> opposite each edge. The wall of the vessel through which the gases pass may be used as the collecting-electrode, and it may be provided with ribs alternating with the disk electrodes, or may be in the form of a sieve surrounded by a second wall. It is advantageous to change the direction of the flow of gases before leaving the apparatus, as this facilitates the separation of dust. The electrodes are preferably charged with direct current, but for many purposes intermittent current produced by a spark induction machine may be used. Specification 5969/08 is referred to.

Title: Improved Device for Accelerating the Application of Pneumatic Brakes.
Inventor: CHAPSAL FRANCOIS JULES
IPC: B60T15/42
Filed: 1911-07-01
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 15,378. Chapsal, F. J., and Saillot, A. L. E. July 4,1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 25,820/07.] Fluid-pressure.-The distributing-valve for pneumatic brakes described in the parent Specification is provided with a cock arranged to control the communication between the train-pipe, a supplementary air reservoir, and a chamber in the distributing-valve which partakes of the changes that occur in the train-pipe pressure during an application or release, the object being to modify the pressure in this chamber and consequently the rapidity of an application or release of the brakes Fig. 1 shows the distributing-valve communicating with the train-pipe A, brake cylinder E, regulating- reservoir D, and braking-reservoir F, and provided with a supplementary reservoir G which is connected to a two-way cock J having a restricted third passage 12. The parts are shown in the running position, in which the reservoirs are charged, and the brake cylinder and chambers K, M, N, O are open to atmosphere. When an application is made, the piston H descends, moving the valve to the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the port 7 is uncovered, allowing air to pass from the reservoir D to the chambers M, N ; the ports 9, 1 are connected, so that air passes from the trainpipe to the chamber O ; and the ports 6, 10 are connected, allowing train-pipe air to pass the chamber L. The passage 7 to the chamber M is restricted at 18, so that the pressure does not rise in the chamber M so quickly as in the chamber L, whereupon the valve 16 is raised so as to vent the train-pipe. The reduction in train-pipe pressure thus produced is communicated to the chamber 0, but the rapidity with which the reduction occurs in the chamber 0 is lessened by the restriction 12 in the cock J and by the reservoir G. As the pressure in the chamber 0 decreases, the higher pressure in the chamber N moves the diaphragms Q, R and the lever T so as to open a valve P and apply the brakes. When train-pipe pressure is raised for releasing the brakes, the increase of pressure in the chamber 0 is similarly retarded by the restriction 12 and reservoir G, the release being effected by movement of the diaphragms Q, R and lever T to open the valve V. The device is specially advantageous in the case of long goods trains, but may be unnecessary in connexion with passenger trains, in which case the restriction 12 and reservoir G are cut out, as shown in Fig. 5. In Fig. 7 is shown a modified cock J<1> by means of which the chamber G may be used without the restriction 12. The piston H of the slide valve is fitted with a spring-closed valve Y, which serves to prevent the difference between the pressures in the train-pipe and the reservoir D from exceeding a certain maximum, thus providing a further retardation in the application of the brakes at the front part of the train.

Abstract: 16,350. Custer, D. W. July 15. Sheet carriers and forwarders; sheet-registering devices; grippers and gripper mechanism; sheet guides.-Sheets are fed to a printing-press by conveyer belts which receive the sheets from a transferring-device of the kind which is stationary when the sheets are fed to it but which is caused to move at the same speed as the belts when transference of the sheets to the belts takes place. The transfer device consists of a suspended carrier with side cheeks in which are pivoted the sheet grippers, and the carrier is operated by a combined cam and toothed gear. As shown, the sheets are fed by hand or automatically over a feed table f<5> and over an inclined board f<4> carried by arms f<3> on a shaft f. The sheets are registered by stops f<7> carried by a spring-controlled shaft f<6>, which is moved by a cam h freely mounted on the shaft f, and a roller f<10> on an arm f<2> on the shaft f<6>. The shaft moves so as to cause a series of fingers f<8> on the shaft to grip the sheet against the board f<4>, and then the arms f<3> are moved forward by the action of a rocking sector e<3> and a mutilated gear f<2>, the sector e<3> being carried by a pivoted arm e<2> which is oscillated by a grooved cam on a shaft d. The arms f<3> are moved at such a speed that the sheet is first of all carried forward at a slightly faster speed than the conveyer belts a<4> which are to forward the sheets to a printing-press, but at the actual time of transference the fingers f<8> and belts are moving at the same speed. The belts a<4> carry side blocks b with bevelled blocks b<10> which engage recesses a<5> in the pulleys a<3> over which they pass, and the side blocks are connected by bars b<4>, b<5>, Fig. 3, the bar b<5> co-operating with gripping-fingers b<9> on a shaft b' mounted in the blocks band controlled by a roller b<12> engaging a fixed cam c, by means of which the grippers are actuated to release the printed sheet and grip a new sheet supplied by the fingers f<8>. As shown in Fig. 3, the grippers b<9> have just taken a sheet and the parts f<7>, f<8> have been raised for returning to normal position to take another sheet. A guide i directs the sheets to the grippers b<9>. The parts b<4>, f<5> are dentated to permit of the actuation of the grippers. The belts a<4> are provided with supporting-rollers b<2> moving over guide-tracks b<3>.
